Evanescah

I'm looking for like a "Teen Titans" kind of role playing super group. Like the cartoon series - I don't know much about the actual comic book. Just a fun having kick-*** group of friends.

Send me a tell @Evanessa

I'll stick with the "largely unscathed." Besides, why would a girl be walking home from school during an invasion? Why would there even be school? I just presume that "largely unscathed" means that some "scathing" did occur. I'm not married to that concept anyway - I just thought it was a cute parallel.

Thanks,

E.

Eva Nessa, Daughter, empathy healer.
A girl barely alive. Her father can rebuild her. He has the technology. He has the capability to make the world's latest cybernetic teen. Eva Nessa will be that girl. Better than she was before. Better. Stronger. Faster.

And so it was that the girl who would become known as Technically Eva, the cybernetic teen, met her fate by merely walking home from school the day of the Rikti Invasion, crushed under the rubble wrought by their devastating attack on Talos Island.

Amber Waves of Fire Journal
Anbaric Amber

It was 9 years ago this past May when the Rikti came and changed everything. I had just struck out on my own after having been a sidekick to Miss Jupiter since I was 9 years old. I was 20, fresh faced and beaming to be the hero my father said I could be. I was still carefree, goofy even; lacking the scars both physical and mental that would dominate the rest of my life.

I had just come out of some alien invasion movie when everyone began staring into the sky. Red lights appeared to be descending from the heavens. I quickly changed into my gear and leapt into the sky, simultaneously contacting all my friends and contacts. By the time my friends arrived, it was clear this was an invasion that had to be repelled at all costs. We tried our best to fight, we really did. Miss Jupiter paid the ultimate price and Lightning Strike, love of my life was critically injured.

I was so less the hero I am now. My power set was so undeveloped but I did as much as I could do. I saw some of the Greats go down. I saw the decimation of the Midnight Squad and knew that it was a hopeless fight for me. But I blasted and blasted and blasted. I tried to take down as many of those grey skinned monsters as I could but it would never be enough - not for me, not that night. Inevitably, I began to fade and it would only be a few more minutes before I met my fate.

My world went white and I felt searing pain and my eyes and hears turned into fog. I felt myself hit the ground and heard and felt something crunch inside me. When I opened my eyes, I crawled...dragged myself over to Lightning Strike, who I thought was dead and I laid beside him, ready to die.

I woke up a week later in traction with several severe but manageable burns and glad to hear that the Invasion was repelled. Although Lightning Strike lived, he was never the same and we could not rekindle our brief affair. Everything I've done since then has been in response to this heartbreak and defeat. When they tried to invade a second time in 2007 - I was more prepared. We all were. And they were soundly defeated but even so, I wanted to do more.

I am now on the incarnate path so that I may be better able to protect my world and those I love. I've seen my future. I've seen what I can become. And I will be her. Someday.

Sisterly Comeuppance?

The small-time villain and general nuisance to King's Row, known euphemistically and perhaps ironically as Avenging Amethyst was subdued and arrested by her parallel universe "sister" Anbaric Amber last night. Amber, a long-time resident of King's Row who first came to this universe via a tragic accident (more information on D-12) has had to tangle with this local version of herself a number of times. When reached for comment, Anbaric Amber replied, "I don't know what her deal is. She can obviously be a much better person - heck, even a much better villain. She only needs to apply herself more." Anbaric Amber, readers will surely recall, is perhaps best known as one of the many minor heroes and sidekicks who stepped up to take the place of the heroes who fell during the First Rikti Invasion.

Anbaric Amber herself will appear at the King's Row bookstore for autographs and a signing of her new autobiography, "Amber Waves of Fire" this Saturday from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

I want so badly to stay in character all the time and wish others would do the same but it's rare that I run into task forces or team missions or just anyone really that's heavy into it like that. But that's okay - I don't force it (except when I'm playing my Loyalist in Going Rogue - i only play with other Loyalists - period).

Action RP: I do stay in character, even if it's just to myself. When I do speak, it is in character as much as possible - often wondering out loud about plot points of the mission arc.

Adult RP: Never, never. All my toons are around my own age, except Anbaric Amber so it's not appropriate (it's not appropriate anyway) and Anbaric Amber is chaste (by choice).

I guess I mostly think of myself as immersive. I do go to Pocket D and dance and hang out and chit chat, dance, and such. But not it isn't long before I get a call on the police scanner or whatever and have to dash off on some mission.

When talking in between missions, it's all RP from me - typically yacking about my characters bf probs which often mirror my own RL probs. I like asking questions about the Lore of the game and trying to imagine what my characters would think and say when confronted with hordes of zombies, rikti invasions, and demons. My toons can also be fearful of some situations. Praetorian Ako, for instance, is claustrophobic and speaks about it and worries about it during cave missions. I don't play her to be so scared as to grief a mission - but she's not going to be 100%.

I'm interested in joining a RP supergroup so if anyone is recruiting send me a tell to @evanessa

When my main, Anbaric Amber stumbled into the Doppleganger missions, the character evolved significantly and was greatly traumatized by the experience. I had designed her to be from a parallel world like in Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series. When the doorways were closed by the events in that novel, which were real in her world, she was stuck in this one. Meeting a doppleganger from yet another parallel dimension, along with dealing with the villain version of herself that lived here prior to her arrival, has caused Amber no end of trouble. She finds herself preoccupied by thoughts of parallel dimensions and doubles and duplicates and will bend any ear in Pocket-D willing to listen to her.

This was unexpected as while I knew Anbaric Amber was from a parallel dimension, I had no idea that the story convention existed in CoH so it was a very fulfilling experience for the both of us.

I will keep several of my lowbies on Virtue, Liberty, and Freedom. But my favorite characters, Anbaric Amber and Praetorian Ako will be going to the VIP server.

Global Name: Evanessa
Server: Virtue

CoX RP Characters:
Anbaric Amber - older hero - from before the Rikti Invasion - experienced blaster - no nonsense - works to see a job done
Praetorian Ako - polite and courteous but still a brute - loves to smash - loves fun - a former Praetorian on the run
The Emerald Cape - A dogmatic Loyalist or a self-interested privateer and provocateur - which side of her will win?
Technically Eva - a happy-go-lucky defender whose body was all but completely destroyed - now 90% cyborg and loving it.

Type of RP: Always, except for Trials - maintain characters at all times
Can be contacted: In game mail, tells, Forum PMs, Formspring.me, MSN (anbaric.email@gmail.com)

Times on: During school in the evening after 7 - weekends off and on

I could try to be available for all kinds of roleplay such as with some notice.

Timezone: Central USA

I'm glad I'm not the only person having probs with the system. I waited for 2 hours in Pocket D and RWZ on Virtue in the queue waiting for something to happen. Nothing did. I don't have all the time in the world to wait - and when I take solo missions can I still be in the queue? I eventually signed up with a hero tips team but had to leave the queue.

Average 2 min wait? Wha? huh?

E.

My blaster is elec/fire and is very durable, particularly with her Phoenix power. I wouldn't say she's unstoppable, but with the right strategy it's getting harder and harder for her to get beat or even break a sweat. I'm loving it.

I will be staying on Virtue but will probably rebuild my two favorite characters on the VIP server. I kind of like the idea of starting over like that.

Hey.

I recently got involved in a taskforce and face planted entirely too much. I haven't paid much attention to things like enhancements and IOs and SOs and such as. But I want to do better to support the teams I'm on. I can't do that if I'm constantly making trips to the hosp.

What advice can ya'll give me to make Technically Eva here more epic?

Here's my mids - hopefully I'm posting this correctly.

I should say that I do like keeping things like stealth/inviso and speed since I find myself on a lot of speedy taskforce missions. But I can live without those if it makes me better at defending.

I'd love love love to have some cuter outfits. This is one of mine that i've heard a lot of good things about - even won a winter-themed CC!

1) Anbaric Amber is so awesome she levels mobs from 200 yards away from the sky
2) Anbaric Amber is so awesome she is on fire - srsly she is
3) Anbaric Amber is so awesome and looks great in knee length leather skirts
4) Anbaric Amber is so awesome she will so go fire melee on you - hop away and blast you from range
5) Anbaric Amber is so awesome and is so close to having perma self rez - she can go all night

Anbaric Amber - so wild that someone once remarked during a raid, "Amber, you are one brave little blaster."

The pain comes from the waiting i thought!

E.

I haven't come across any names that I had to redo because it not available. I put in lot of time thinking about character names and such as and it bums me out when I see some lame handles with no thought - or just numbers and letters. A good superhero/villain name is so tied into the comic book think. Its super important. To me anyway.

Anbaric Amber (blaster), Praetorian Ako (brute), Roarin' Ruby Rage (tank), Nice Blue Fire (tank), Technically Eva (defender), Claire Claymore (my fav manga) (scrapper), Avenging Amethyst (dominator), Allison B. Dazzler (a 70s Dazzler warshade) OMG how I wish we had roller skates costume piece!

I like usually like think about what kind of powers they have or their origins and like brainstorm off of that. Like with Technically Eva I was at school and some asked my RL name which is such a chore to explain so I said it's "technically Eva" and I thought wow that's the perfect name specially since Technically Eva is like a robot girl.

E.

[B]Here is mine - I dont have a screen shot right now since I'm at school (SUCKS).

Anbaric Amber - Lvl 50 Mutant Blaster ELEC/FIRE with Alpha Cardio

Amber is not of this world. Trapped here when the doors between this universe and her own were permanently closed, she has swore to make a life in a world familiar and yet strange. Amber's powers manifested themselves earlier than most, beginning as a powerful static charge. This soon progressed to powerful waves of electricity that began to do damage to her surroundings. She was then admitted to a school for mutants where she learned to control her powers. Since then she has demonstrated a control over fire and now has fire mastery. She is currently unable to maintain a secret identify because of her powerful aura that cannot be disguised or contained. She lives as Anbaric Amber full time and must be extremely cautious visiting friends.

and here's my other fav toon...

Praetorian Ako - Lvl 34 Natural Brute SS/INV

Ako is a teenaged hero on the run from the authorities from her home world, Praetoria. Her catch phrase, "AKO SMASH!!!" can be heard either immediately preceding a large explosion or immediately after. She lives to fight and when she fights she only gets stronger and stronger until the fight is over. Her main frustration in life is injustice and corruption, something she willingly fights with her fists. In her secret identity, she struggles to fit in at school while maintaining her identity. She is quick to anger, violent, and can be dangerous. However, she is a powerful asset to Anbaric Amber's Women of Justice and Snacks Guild.

Technically Eva - Lvl 49 Technology Defender EMP/RAD

Eva was born a normal girl to very abnormal parents who were both super scientists and masters of robotics. Despite the danger of doing so - Eva often accompanied her parents on missions around the world. It was on one such mission that Eva was tragically injured. Had it not been for her parents quick action, Eva surely would have died. The extent of Eva's injuries were such that only a head and partial torso could be saved. She is now more machine than human but is neither twisted nor evil. Her good nature and positive attitude despite her limitations serve as serious inspiration for those around her. Additionally, her technologically advanced form gives her the ability to heal and assist those around her. She can also defend herself by using her internal radioactive power source as a weapon. Her positive attitude can be witnessed in her character and appearance as everything about her is pink and sunshine.

I gotta agree with others who said scrapper or brute. I started out with a blaster and that was fun but you die a lot - a lot - and that really never gets better. You can solo a blaster into the low 40s, i did anyway but my defender and brute got to 40 in way less time, way less dead, and way more fun.
